I am from food
from makeup and cars
I am from the small house with a lot of land
that always has a pumpkin smell
I am from the beautiful yellow flowers
the cedar trees
that dances in the wind and rain
I’m from big birthday dinners and parties
from dad saying I love you and brother saying I hate you
I’m from going to Colorado every Christmas and Port A. every spring
and from a family that talks a whole bunch
I’m from “Go to sleep Santa is coming!” and “stay strong, keep your head up”
and rocking the country music
I’m from movies all night long
I’m from Dallas, Texas
from grandfather who served in the army and passed away
